Paradise Datacom Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA

The Teledyne Paradise Datacom Mini Compact Outdoor Solid
State Power Amplifier (SSPA) is built for extreme environmental
conditions and high reliability operation. Along with the robust
construction exists the highest power density in the industry.
This allows solid state technology to be used in applications
that have long been reserved for TWTAs.

Weighing less than 24.5 lbs. (11.2 kg), and 19.6 lbs. (8.9 kg)
for the S-Band and Ku-Band units, and only slightly larger than
a lunch box, this family of GaN SSPAs is available in the following
output power levels:

The RCP2-1000 is a Remote Control Panel for the Compact Outdoor SSPA. It only requires 1RU of cabinet
space and provides and identical local interface as exists on Paradise Datacom Indoor Rack Mount amplifiers.

The controller communicates with the outdoor amplifier via a RS485 link. The controller then provides a wide
range of interface capability including Ethernet communications. The following communication links are available
at the Remote Control Panel:

Fiber Optic Interface

The 1RU Indoor Fiber Optic to L Band Transceiver complements the Mini Compact Outdoor Amplifier for a
complete Optical interface for the amplifier.

What distinguishes the Paradise Datacom Fiber Optic solution is the ability to transmit and receive not only the
L-Band IFL, but also a 10 MHz reference signal and an FSK signal that provides complete remote control of the
amplifier. When equipped with a Paradise Datacom Evolution Series PD25 L-Band modem, a complete baseband
to optical interface is realized.

A system utilizing a Fiber Optic link can have an IFL length in excess of 1km. An optical link is also desirable in
areas in which L-Band interference can degrade the system’s performance.
